SchedulePress<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>allows you to automatically share your scheduled WordPress posts on your LinkedIn account. By connecting LinkedIn with SchedulePress, you can automatically share your blog posts at the scheduled time. Besides, with its \u2018Instant Share\u2019<\/strong> flexibility, you can share your post anytime you want on LinkedIn as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, you can now simultaneously share posts on \u2018multiple LinkedIn accounts\u2019<\/strong> by using SchedulePress Pro. This feature would come in very handy if you want to grow your social media presence and give your brand some much-needed exposure. Follow the below guidelines to share your WordPress posts on your LinkedIn account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 \u2013 Retrieve LinkedIn API Keys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to retrieve your API Keys from your LinkedIn Developer Account<\/strong><\/a> first. Beforehand, you need to make sure that you already have created an App on LinkedIn. You will have to provide the necessary information: App Name, App Logo, Privacy Policy URL, and others. Make sure to connect your Company page with the App as well. If you don\u2019t have a Company page, you can create one by following this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go to your App page and open the \u2018Auth\u2019<\/strong> page. From here, you will find the \u2018Client ID\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018Client Secret\u2019<\/strong> API Keys. You can copy them from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to copy the following URL: \u201chttps:\/\/api.schedulepress.com\/callback.php\u201c<\/strong> and paste it inside the \u2018Redirect URLs\u2019<\/strong> option under \u2018OAuth 2.0 Settings\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Automatically<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Make sure you have enabled the \u2018Share On LinkedIn<\/strong>\u2018 and \u2018Sign in with LinkedIn<\/strong>\u2018 options by navigating to the \u2018Products<\/strong>\u2018 tab from the LinkedIn app.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

However, if you are a new user, you will find the option \u2018Sign In With LinkedIn using OpenID Connect<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 2 \u2013 Connect LinkedIn With SchedulePress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After retrieving API Keys from your LinkedIn account,  go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to wp-admin -> SchedulePress -> Settings<\/strong>. Then, simply open up the \u2018Social Profile\u2019<\/strong> tab. Toggle on the \u2018LinkedIn\u2019<\/strong> option to make it enabled. Afterward, select Profile or Page from drop down and simply click on \u2018Add New\u2019<\/strong> to connect your LinkedIn profile or Page with SchedulePress.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After hitting on the \u2018Add New\u2019<\/strong> button, you will get a popup. Here, toggle on the \u2018Connect with App credentials\u2019<\/strong> and you\u2019ll get two more fields to provide \u2018App ID\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018App Secret\u2019<\/strong>. Now, provide your collected \u2018Client ID\u2019<\/strong> and Client Secret\u2019<\/strong> of your LinkedIn account and click on the \u2018Connect Your Account\u2019<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you are a new user, you need to toggle the \u2018OpenID Connect<\/strong>\u2019 button and then provide \u2018App ID\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018App Secret\u2019<\/strong>. Now, provide your collected \u2018Client ID\u2019<\/strong> and Client Secret\u2019<\/strong> of your LinkedIn account and click on the \u2018Connect Your Account\u2019<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After allowing permission to the App, the Access token<\/strong> will be successfully generated and SchedulePress will be connected with your LinkedIn<\/strong> profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By simply following the previous steps, you can add a new profile or page and connect multiple LinkedIn accounts with SchedulePress Pro as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 3 \u2013 Configure Social Templates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Switch to the \u2018Social Templates\u2019<\/strong> tab to make changes to your social share Template. You can configure the LinkedIn Template Settings and place around content parameters the way you want the shared post to appear. You can show your tags and categories as \u2018Hashtags\u2019<\/strong> from here. You can even enable the \u2018Content Source\u2019 <\/strong>type as Excerpt or Content to showcase it as your LinkedIn template content. Also can set your LinkedIn \u2018Status Limit\u2019<\/strong> as per your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"share<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Additionally, you can set a limit to how often you can share a post<\/strong> on LinkedIn. By default, the limit is set to zero, which means you can share a post as many times as you want. But, you can change the value to any number<\/strong> and restrict it for sharing that number of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 \u2013 Schedule Your WordPress Post & Automatically Share It On LinkedIn Right Away<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you schedule your WordPress post, it will automatically be shared on the LinkedIn account. Besides, if you want, you can even instantly share your live post on LinkedIn as well. To do that, go to your post and navigate to \u2018Social Share Settings\u2019<\/strong> and choose \u2018Profile\u2019 <\/strong>or \u2018Page\u2019<\/strong> from \u2018LinkedIn\u2019<\/strong> social share platform. Then, simply hit the \u2018Share Now\u2019<\/strong> button and your post will instantly be shared on your LinkedIn account. If you want, you can even upload a custom \u2018Social Share Banner\u2019<\/strong> for your LinkedIn share as well.<\/p>\n\n\n
